Defensive wall formed by adapting a section of Mevagissey inner harbour wall as a loopholed wall. This wall was made by heightening the harbour wall with concrete and incorporating 9 loopholes, measuring approx. 10ins width x 9ins height. The wall is 57ins thick and has a firestep on the land side. The field of fire from the loopholes covered the harbour entrance and harbour walls. The wall remains in excellent condition - the inner part is in use as a net storage area.
